Another suspected surveillance balloon spotted over Latin America is from China and is for civilian purposes, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Monday in Beijing.

“The airship deviated from its intended route and entered the skies over Latin America and the Caribbean by mistake,” Ning told reporters at a news conference.

Moreover, Ning said China and the United States should handle the Chinese unmanned airship entering the U.S. airspace in a calm, proper manner without the use of force.

"What I want to emphasize is this incident was completely an accident due to uncontrollable external forces," she said. "Both sides, especially the U.S., should handle such unexpected, isolated and accidental incidents in a calm, professional and non-forceful manner."

The U.S. military said on Sunday it was searching for remnants of the Chinese surveillance balloon it shot down a day earlier. Meanwhile, Beijing urged the U.S. not to escalate the issue or take further action to harm its interests.
